The Trailhead

I am a nature loving traveler, hiker, and backpacker. While on my journeys, I am frequently inspired to stop and capture the beauty before me. I've been sharing my pictures with friends and family for years and I've finally decided to share my favorite pictures with you. I hope they bring back good memories, inspire new adventures or simply bring you a sense of calm and joy.

  • Smokey sunset reflected in unnamed pond, Humphrey's Basin.  In 2013, a raging fire burned on and on to the west of there Sierras.  The winds pushed smoke from the Rim fire deep into the Sierras.  In fact, the smoke even effected the air quality in Bishop!  This sunset was very unique because of the smokey influence.  Earlier in the day, a violent thunder storm rocked the area (which is over 11,000 feet high).

  • After a stormy night, we woke up to a spectacular, cloud speckled blue sky.  This is one of my favorite pictures.  The mountain range you see I the background is the Glacier Divide.  The lake is Lower Desolation Lake.  This hike was in July but the flowers were abundant and the inlet was flowing nicely.
  • This unnamed lake was shallow and warm (on a very cold day).  It's just south of the Bench Lake cutoff and north of Pinchot Pass.

  • This view is looking towards French Canyon from Pine Creek Pass.  The tiny, colorful flowers were full of equally tiny and colorful butterflies!  This was a July trip but it felt like spring.
  • 4th of July backpacking trip to Kearsarge Pass.  We had this awesome view of the Kearsarge Pinnacles and Kearsarge Lakes.
